Perfect location for beach access and no obstruction of beach view, restaurants are right up the street, the whole house is set up very nice, all appliances were very nice, would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for our family. Closeness to the beach was fantastic. Grandkids had a blast. Would definitely recommend families staying here.

Fabulous house in the best possible location.
This property was so clean and well maintained. Pool was well cared for. The location is perfect for whatever drew you to the area. As a group of 14 ranging in age from 2-58 we agreed unanimously. This is the best property we’ve stayed in over our 20 year vacation span!

We were very pleased with the location, absolutely loved having an ocean view. House was very clean. Very pleased with having 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. Pool may be a little small, but served our pool purpose just fine. We would definitely consider another vacation experience at Cake by the Ocean.

This house was perfect for our family of eight. It's hard to express what we loved best. My favorite thing was the view of the ocean. The house is beside a public access, but you would have never really known that. Great location. We stayed May 2024 and there were recent updates, including new decking and furniture and it was outstanding. This was probably the cleanest beach house we have ever experienced and that is important to us. I was so impressed with all the things that were available in the unit. I cannot say one negative thing about this House. We booked through Vrbo and our customer service experience was also outstanding and that is important to us.

Fantastic location and home was lovely and clean. 2 concerns: the pool does not stay clean, a lot of algae buildup. Not sure if the pump is not strong enough for the pool or too little chlorine. Second, when walking out onto the porch from the living room, the railing is loose on the left.
Everything about our stay was great. The place is extremely nice and clean. The number of bedrooms with baths gave everyone privacy. The house is close to the beach and the views are amazing.

Our entire family loved this spot! Beautiful views and a quiet neighborhood! Super clean and tidy. Plenty of room for our multigenerational family to spread out and the kids could watch movies at night and not disturb any one. We loved how close it was to the pier. We walked to the pier every night and had ice cream. We were very close to some very good restaurants including the Gracious Pig which became our favorite.
The house was spotless and definitely has a ton of room. It’s very close to the beach as well. With five kids with us it was super easy to get to the beach and come back for lunch etc. I definitely recommend this place for families!
This was the perfect house for us. The layout was open and spacious. It was very clean and the beds were so comfortable. The views from both balconies were incredible. The carport was very large and made it extremely easy to pack and unpack. We felt like we were directly on the ocean and could see the waves from both balconies. The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals for large families. The pool was perfect size and was larger than the picture shows, we played corn hole in the plush grass. The beach was a few steps away and we walked everywhere, plenty of restaurants and ice cream parlors. The grocery store was just two miles away. It was the perfect place and honestly we were blown away by how convenient everything was. We are so happy we chose cake on the ocean! We cannot recommend it enough!!

Very nice and clean house located at a great location in Surfside. We really enjoyed how nice and clean the house was and would highly recommend.
The house was beautiful only to be upstaged by the view of the ocean! We loved the pool and the ability to walk to the ocean. My whole family went and a good time was had by all 12 of us. Thank you
In town for Ripken Experience and stayed with one other family. 9 of us stayed very comfortably. Nice view of ocean and very close to beautiful public beach access. We spent a lot of time at the Ocean and it was nice to have the house close by. Pool is small but nice have after a long day in Ocean. Grill is a little outdated is about the only negative but overall a great place to stay.
Beautiful house with lots of room for 7 of us. Short walk to the beach and was able to hear the waves from the house.
The pool was a little cloudy and water was not circulating on day we checked in, but I called the next day and they had someone out to work on it the same day. Pool was clear for rest of our stay.
Would stay here again.
Nice seating for meals. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Watched people park for beach, when all we had to do was walk over when we wanted.
Nice view from the balconies, since there is no house right in front. Pool was refreshing. (could be a little larger since yard is just wasted space). Would stay there again.
House was perfect in size and location. The pool was perfect for the kids when needed. Wish check in was a little earlier due to travel distance with kids. The queen beds are very saggy and the older couples had a hard time not rolling into each other. I did need to contact rental agency regarding “palmetto bugs” that take over the outside decks and pool area at night.
House is 3 blocks from surfside pier/restaurant area with side walk, making it easy to go out for lunch/dinner/drinks without having to drive. Good view of ocean from first level with great view from the second level off the master. Kitchen/den is good size and we had enough seats for 14 family members eating dinner. Had 11 staying in house and it was comfortable. We could get 4 cars in the bottom with one at the back in a grass area next to fence. There are a few grass spots back there for parking. 5 cars can fit in bottom if don’t have larger cars. Also have the paid parking next to house if have more people visiting. Pool is small but fun to hang out in after day on beach. There are 4 chairs by pool and several lounge type chairs too. Gets shady in back in afternoon. Shower downstairs is nice to wash off before going upstairs. Also have a hose. Shower does not have a door. Kitchen is pretty well stocked with plates and glasses/cups. Beach is a short minutes walk from the back gate. There are also public bathrooms at the public parking lot. Southern Coast property folks are very nice and responsive. Just leave message and they get back quickly.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
The good, the bad, and the ugly!
The Good: House was well appointed and clean. Plenty of bath towels and sheets available. Location, perfect. View, stellar.
The Bad: Difficult entry upon arrival. Key pad did not work (as I was instructed prior to my arrival by three different rental company personnel that the key pad was the only entry needed). Had to go to the rental company office to get key from drop box after repeated attempts to enter using door key pad. BTW, Southern Coast Vacation rental office is never open in the Surfside Beach area. This 5 bedroom house was given ONE key for 6 adults! There were no pot holders in kitchen, and the slat blinds in primary bedroom were broken.
The UGLY: Southern Coast Vacation rental company has horrible customer service. The dryer in the house would not dry the clothes. I called the 'Maintenance department both Tuesday and Wednesday, left a detailed message and NEVER received a call back. Thursday, I call the vacation rental office, explained my reason for call and was told the Maintenance department could not handle this type of service call. This particular issue would have to be vetted out to vendors, and that no vendor was available until MONDAY (we checked out on Saturday). I also learned the OWNER and vacation rental office were aware of the maintenance issue on the day we checked IN, but did not put a work order or try to locate a vendor to have the issue resolved during our stay.
I was also told by someone in the vacation rental office on Thursday, that 'Patrick' of the Vacation department would call me to offer a partial refund due to the inconvenience. NEVER heard from Patrick either..
We travel to Myrtle Beach yearly for family vacations. I will NEVER rent another property if Southern Coast Vacations is the rental company.
Very disappointed,
Sherry Tinsley from Mechanicsville, Va.
We had some problems from “Ira”, but everything turned out satisfactory!
